Abstract: A Multiple Axis Movement Yoke/Clevis Design (Articulated Clevis) provides a means of axial movement, within a clevis design, while transmitting force between two locations. The articulated clevis allows for a more direct linear arrangement within a linkage connection.

Abstract: A turnbuckle linkage assembly is provided for transmitting a force between first and second locations in a machine. The assembly includes a first link for connecting to the first location such as a rod, tube or cable, a second link for connecting to the second location, and a turnbuckle. A first, threaded connection connects the turnbuckle to the first link, and a second connection connects the turnbuckle to the second link. The second connection and the second link are arranged along an axis, and an interference fit at the second connection is formed by the turnbuckle and the second link permitting the turnbuckle to rotate relative to the second link but axially affixing the turnbuckle to the second link.
